Makes sense. And you still have plenty of cap space to make other moves

DeSmith, Lafferty, 2nd for Faska, Honka. You can keep Honka, zero interest in him.

Counter with Lafferty and a 4th for Faska's rights. Actually... Faska got basically the same Ev and overall ice time as Blueger, frankly, most numbers across the board are "comparable", Faska a little better. But Blueger is $750K vs around $2.4M to resign Faska.

Faska would be a nice 3C, but the Pens pass due to already have a version at 30% the cap hit.

Dallas is a perfect fit for Pietro.

One dollar cap space and no weird money numbers. Impressive

Do you trade someone so you don't lose Lindell? Seattle could pick him up

1st I don't like the idea of any team paying a guy 10 million till he's 37.
2nd, I don't think Dallas trades Faksa. He's a solid player who is physical.

True, I didn’t think of that...I guess they would either pay Seattle not to take Hintz or Lindell, or trade Lindell before the draft. They still have Harley coming up.
